I am researching a family that lived in Pine Grove in the same area of
Howland Flats. The name was John Peter Corpstein, and he was running a
hotel in Pine Grove at the time of the 1860 census. He also worked a
couple of claims.
Any information about Pine Grove, or the family, would be appreciated.
